The key was, "Works with Windows 98 with audio acceleration turned off". So, I tried it on here (Windows XP), and voila! Let me know if this works for anyone else. If not, I'm not sure what you can do.

yea, ive had this problem too, but its easy to fix. go into control panel>sound and audio devices and then go to the "audio" tab. under the default device for sound playback, select "game preferred device" works for me!
